This makes me happy. Not that I agree with banning Meta knight yet. I just hate him.

As a Midwest TO, I respectfully disagree, simply because MK has not caused my particular tournament series to degenerate into MK mirrors like everyone seems afraid it will. I will wait until something sufficiently negative happens as a direct consequence of MK being legal before making a decision.

Plenty of useless posts every where ^


Anyway, I'm neither for it or against it. If the game is going to be regulated though then why not start banning some of the chain grabs as well??

But we've already seen what's happening when people get hit by cars all across the US!

This is the same course I would take too. It seems silly to ban something before its an issue.

Also, Im aware that TX is considering banning MK, but I haven't heard anything about Canada or FL doing this. Do you have a source for this information you can supply us with?

Not everyone thinks its a car. And that's a bad analogy, being hit by a car can easily cause death, or serious permanent damage. However, if a character in a video game proves to be ban worthy, then you can just ban it when the time comes. There's no real risk for permanent damage from the lack of action of not moving out of the way.

na, i'm immune to being hit by cars. well, apparently Levitas has been trying for years, yet again strengthening my immunity.

I'm still decidedly neutral on the MK issue but...I can safely say Bob Dole would approve of this message.

Also, i really dont care which way this goes i guess. Although out of at least half my tourny losses, they have come from a MK. Then again i like a challenge i guess.

Don't get me wrong, I love challenges too. I beat all the bosses in MM2 with just the blaster without getting hit.... but when I got to Air Man, I had to realize that some challenges just couldn't be beaten and you have to take them out of the equation for a fair, yet difficult, challenge.

I'm only going to the MWC events and then tournaments with MK banned.... so nyet.

But if you and vayseth are both banning it, we might be able to have our own "MK banned" circuit if Kel doesn't want to have "no MK" tournaments in the circuit in the spring! :D

Pardon my ignorance... but can someone link a thread here where OS debated why he should be banned?

If he really is imba, I wouldn't mind banning him. (Team Kirby can live without him....) But I would like to see in person as well as read up as to why he really should be banned.

Also my friend was hit by a car going 40, with through the windshield, and WALKED out of the hospital that morning with 2 stiches... wtf!

Guess he should be banned too...

Wow, it's that bad over there, huh?

There aren't any impossible Meta Knight players around here, so I doubt I'll start banning him at my tournaments. He's certainly annoying and difficult to play against, but I never experienced a problem great enough to warrant a ban.

Can you list why he should be banned? I'm only interested to hear.

I hope TOs who ban MK are doing it because they believe it's in the community's best interest, not because of Overshirt's Crusade Against Metaknight (OCAM).

If a character is not winning tournaments, they should not be banned.
(not that if they win, they should be banned, but winning should be a requirement for banning)
That'd be like uh.. banning Melee Jigglypuff because she has "omg 1 frame instant kill"
....

Things that keep us from winning tournaments 1.) Metaknight, 2.) Johns, 3.) Anther. We have successfully banned #1. Can we ban the others too?

I was against his banning, but after seeing Hobo and several local tourneys be nothing but MK dittos for the last three rounds, I'm starting to agree. It'll be interesting to see how this plays out in the Midwest.

On a side note, if MK is banned, who do you see going to the top place? Snake is #2 so he seems to be favored, but how much of his placement was due to him being even in the MK matchup? I can honestly see him dropping a few slots with this removed, and GaW or DeDeDe taking the throne.
